2 years out! Wow, can't believe it...
WORTH IT$13,700
Got an email that is has been 2 years since surgery, seems like longer than that in some ways, and shorter than that in others. I am still so incredibly happy with it, best thing I ever did. And it's funny, I was just looking at my pre surgery photos and it made me think, wow, you really do look pretty good now. I will quit over analyzing every little stretch mark or roll that I think I still have.
And want the truth about my boobs, wish I would have went bigger, lol. Don't get me wrong, I love them and they look really natural, which is what I wanted. But all said and done I wish I would have went a teensy bit bigger.
Going to try and get a recent pic put up!

So, Um, I need to get my act together when it...
So, Um, I need to get my act together when it comes to diet. I am not weighing myself right now, I said I wouldn't until after my 6 week mark. But I know what I am shoveling into my mouth is not good :/ I have 3 or 4 really good days and then I am bad over the weekend. What makes it worse is that I always feel like I eat to fuel my exercise and since I am not exercising I kind of feel "lost" on what to eat......
Forgive this next part, but I am making a deceleration on here to get my ass in check and start fueling my body the right way. MFP is my BFF and I am tracking everything. OH and no more drinks either, because I am not training for anything right now my drinking on the weekend has picked up and well that is NOT GOOD AT ALL, coupled with the extra hormones from now bleeding for 13 days from after the Mirena placement. I am a hot mess, lol. but not anymore,TODAY it changes!!!!
Ok, if you read that far you are a saint!
And in actually surgery news, I go for my Tummy lymphatic massage today at the surgery center, they say that it really helps with the extra swelling so I am excited for it.
Happy Healing ladies!

My husband will have a cheat day(weekend for hot wings and beer) but that never works for me. I tend to overdo it. If I want a bite of cake or candy I will have a bite, just one then toss it out. I have no willpower. You will be back into the mindset in no time! Just look in the mirror. You have a super flat tummy and muscular runner legs!! Healthy and happy healing.

So I never really cared about the stretch marks...
So I never really cared about the stretch marks before, because, well with all the skin that was the least of my worries. Anywho, now I have noticed some pretty good size ones on my hip stick out that much more. Anyone try that bio oil or something of the like and think that it makes a difference?

Happy Easter hun, you look super, glad the boobie is fixed and can get back to healing, I still cant walk, OMG it is killing me, but I had it way to rough to mess this up so I am watching the food and waiting, it is hard mentally I miss not working out.

Amber, watching my diet is such a pain in the ass without exercise, ugh. Thank goodness for MFP or I think I would be up a lot more. I totally feel off the wagon again yesterday but I am determined to make it through this weekend with flying colors.
You will get back to the gym, but I know it has got to be hard for you. Don't forgot how much skin you had taken off, you really had a hard recovery in front of you :(

Glad to hear that you were up walking 3miles by 2wks. I am making a note of that so that as soon as I am up to it I can ask about walking. You look fabulous. Healthy and happy healing.
